Ohio postage stamps in this source-checked index connect statehood with frontier events, transportation, the growth of city mail delivery and public life. Eight records provide the dates and values needed to tell them apart.
Ohio statehood is only one part of the set
The 1953 and 2003 statehood entries create a centennial and bicentennial pair. Northwest Territory, Fallen Timbers and Ohio River Canalization place other issues in territorial and infrastructure history rather than the statehood category.
Source-checked Ohio issue records
City Mail Delivery, 4-H Club and Robert A. Taft add postal-service, youth and political subjects with their own issue identities.

A postal-history issue can be Ohio-related without showing the state
City Mail Delivery belongs because the issue record ties the commemoration to the development of that service in Ohio. This is different from assuming that every nationally themed mail stamp belongs on a state list.
Use direct evidence, not an Ohio cancellation alone
The design, commemorated event or documented subject must establish the connection. State permits, revenue stamps, benefit references and rubber stamps remain separate object types even when they carry Ohio wording.
Issue history versus current availability
Ohio’s eight records are identification evidence rather than an inventory claim. Condition, gum, cancellation, provenance, price and current postage use belong to the specific physical stamp and an up-to-date seller or USPS check.

Which Ohio statehood issue is newer?
The 37-cent issue dated March 1, 2003 is newer than the 3-cent issue dated March 2, 1953.
Can the table determine a stamp’s market value?
No. It documents issue identity; condition, format, gum, cancellation, provenance and market evidence still require separate evaluation.
